7.0 DISCUSSION

A survey of 20 respondents took place in Port Dickson Town Centre. Most of them did not know about DSF since none of
them involved in the construction field. To support the statements, Port Dickson has no building that implemented the DSF.
There are few tall buildings located in PD and most of them are hotels and resorts which are not a part of the system. Based on
the investigation of the previous case studies, the systems are not cooperating with the visual comfort. Most of them did not
know how the system operates and how the DSF function as a method to reduce heat in the building. Almost all respondents
agreed if the application of DSF can be implemented to the building in Port Dickson if it certainly could reduce heat and increase
the human comfort. Few of them not really sure about the implementation of DSF that will cover the wall and definitely will
block the view to the sea. This circumstances will come to exceptional of building function where most of the DSF are suitable to
the office building when most people or occupant will spend most time from 8 to 5 or more in the space.
